The BodyHoliday Launches Pioneering BodyScience Program

The BodyHoliday, an award-winning health and wellness resort in Saint Lucia, is set to launch a ground-breaking program called BodyScience dedicated to the pursuit of optimal wellness. Using cutting-edge technologies such as DNA testing, combined with the preventative Eastern approach to well-being, the program will take personalized health, fitness and nutrition programs to the next level.

BodyScience will take personalized fitness regimes to an unprecedented level of detail. It is the first time a program of this kind has been offered at a Caribbean resort, highlighting their commitment to leading the way in health and wellness.

BodyScience will be hosted in a new clinic complete with the most cutting edge equipment and a team of specially trained practitioners at the heart of the resort’s luxurious wellness center.

How it Works

Ahead of their arrival, guests will be asked to provide a series of home-based tests, DNA samples and answer an extensive questionnaire that will be sent off and analyzed by BodyScience experts.

On arrival, guests will receive a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctor who will perform on-site tests that provide further information about the guest’s state of health and wellness to complement the initial results. These tests include assessing heart rate, blood pressure, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, cardio and arterial fitness, body fat analysis, lung capacity, 3D heart mapping and Iridology, among others.

Results

The tests will establish the patient’s body type – whether they are a natural endurance runner, sprinter or weightlifter, for example – to ensure they are exercising to their full potential and to avoid potential injuries.

The tests will also clarify specific food types that are good and bad for the guest’s body, enabling them to create a positive, preventative nutrition plan that will help combat existing ailments and avoid those that they may be more likely to contract at a later stage. Guests can start their meal plan with immediate effect. The resort’s own wellness chef will cook personalized dishes to be served at any one of the restaurants at any time, allowing families or friends to enjoy their vacation without any constraints on where they can eat.

Existing programs at The BodyHoliday such as BodyAware and Stressbuster can be enhanced with this new type of testing, with over 800 nutritional supplements that can be prescribed.

As part of the initiative, guests taking part in BodyScience will be given exclusive access to a password-protected, personalized web room dedicated to the guest on The BodyHoliday website to access and analyze their results before, during and after their stay.

BodyScience will launch in September 2014. Prices for the testing start from $3,000 per person exclusive of a guest’s stay.

The BodyHoliday holds a number of Themed Months throughout the year including September Solos, Jive-June, WellFit Families (July-August), WellFit boot camps, October Yoga and Pre Christmas Restorative Break.
